Before and After School Program Milton

BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM DEVELOP MIND, BODY & SPIRIT

Black Belt World Milton team has been planning and developing this program with the anticipation of providing families in the community with a convenient way to maximize the potential of children. Our before and after school program will take a harmonious approach to develop the mind, body and spirit of each individual child.

Black Belt World Milton before and after school martial arts classes will follow a progressive curriculum that include practical lesson plans for anti-bullying strategies and the prevalent dangers of Internet chat rooms and strangers. The curriculum is established to be easily applied to real life situations. Our focus is to instill confidence, self-esteem and leadership qualities.

Within weeks the changes in your child will become obvious. They will be able to say no to unhealthy peer pressure. Their confidence level will rise. They will start being able to focus more clearly on their homework and they will begin to feel better about themselves.

Martial arts isn’t just a powerful character-builder… it’s a great workout, too. And in this day and age where there are TONS of activities that keep kids on the couch… it’s VITAL to inject fun fitness whenever you can. Our program will get your kid in great shape, and they’ll love every second of it. That way they can develop healthy exercise habits that stick with them for life. Focus+ fitness= A black belt attitude.

Black Belt World Milton provides extended child care services for working parents before and after school.

The unavoidable demanding and busy work life of working moms and dads leaves a gap between the end of a child’s school day to when parents get home from after work. It is during these gaps of unsupervised activities where children may pick up on bad behaviors and habits.

Black Belt World Milton Before and After School Program is a fun filled and affordable martial arts program which is designed to give your child’s after school care a purpose.

This is NOT a daycare but rather a real Martial Arts experience which will teach your child the life skills of respect, discipline, focus, a no quit attitude, and invaluable self defence skills. In addition to Taekwondo, our curriculum includes fun activities and games such as dodge ball and indoor soccer , yoga as well as homework help. Also in an effort to accommodate working parents, we offer before school care drop off times as early as 6.30 am and after school pickups as late as 6:15 pm as well as transportation to/from school.
